Absolutely nothing exciting happens in Maine… nothing, that is, except for the birth of one wicked big toddlah!
When Uncle Bert takes one look at the newest arrival and exclaims, “That’s one wicked big toddlah you got there!”—well, that’s how baby Toddie gets his name. And what a fitting name it is. Because Toddie isn’t your average baby. He’s big. Really big. The kind of big that requires ocean baths (complete with boats for bath toys!) and booties that wear out the knitter before they’re even finished.
From author and illustrator Kevin Hawkes comes this delightfully absurd tale that follows Toddie through all the familiar milestones of baby’s first year—with hilariously gigantic results. Teething? Let’s just say the local lumber industry takes notice. Diaper changes? You might need a tarp. Every page brings new challenges for Toddie’s loving family and fresh waves of laughter for young readers.
Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who love silly stories, this picture book captures the chaos and joy of welcoming a new baby to the family—Maine-style. The warm, expressive illustrations bring Toddie’s oversized adventures to life, while the gentle humor and authentic Down East dialect make this a story you’ll want to read again and again.
Whether you’re a Mainer yourself or just love a good tall tale, The Wicked Big Toddlah is guaranteed to bring giant laughs to story time. Ayuh, that’s some good readin’ right there!
